Is Ben Johnson only a genius working with NFL No. 1 picks?
NFL fans are going to learn a lot about the Chicago Bears head coach with Caleb Williams injured.
Ben Johnson, the Chicago Bears head coach, is enjoying a unique and enviable position in the NFL, working exclusively with high-caliber quarterbacks. The Bears have benefited from coaching former No. 1 overall picks Caleb Williams and Jared Goff. Johnson's upcoming matchup against the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 3 will be the first time as a head coach or offensive coordinator that he won't have a No. 1 pick under center to start the game.
This situation presents an opportunity to assess Johnson's true capabilities and how he would perform with a backup quarterback. The Bears are grappling with QB issues as Caleb Williams is sidelined due to a hamstring injury, leaving the team with either Case Keenum or Tyson Bagent, who is currently in the NFL concussion protocol.
While Johnson's offensive prowess is widely acknowledged, this scenario will test his mettle with a backup behind center.
